agent-borg 3.0.0

Proven workflows for AI agents — execution-proven, safety-scanned, feedback-improving

borg

A cache layer for agent reasoning.

Your agent is burning tokens re-deriving approaches that other agents have already proven. Borg checks the cache before your agent starts flailing. When it solves something new, it writes back. The network gets smarter with every failure.

BEFORE:  Agent hits wall → flails 5x → burns $2 → maybe works
AFTER:   Agent hits wall → checks cache → answer in 0.3s → $0.02

Quick start

pip install agent-borg
borg search "debugging"
borg try systematic-debugging

MCP tools

16 tools your agent can call via MCP:

Tool	What it does
borg_search	Find proven approaches for a problem
borg_pull	Download a pack to use locally
borg_try	Preview a pack without saving
borg_init	Create a new pack from scratch
borg_apply	Apply a pack with phase tracking
borg_publish	Share a new approach with the collective
borg_feedback	Report what worked / what didn't
borg_suggest	Get proactive suggestions for current task
borg_observe	Watch what your agent does, suggest packs
borg_convert	Convert between formats (SKILL.md, cursorrules, etc.)
borg_context	Get project context (git state, recent changes)
borg_recall	Check failure memory for known bad approaches
borg_reputation	Check trust scores for agents and packs
borg_extract	Extract workflow patterns from existing code
borg_generate	Generate platform-native rules files
borg_wiki	Query the wiki knowledge layer (experimental)

Works with any MCP-compatible agent: Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, OpenClaw, Hermes.

Wiki knowledge layer (experimental)

The wiki provides a persistent, searchable knowledge base that enriches pack recommendations with community-contributed context. When borg_observe matches a pack, it automatically pulls in relevant wiki entries to give your agent richer guidance.

borg wiki search "error handling patterns"
borg wiki add --topic="retry strategies" --content="..."

Note: The wiki layer is experimental in v3.0.0. The API may change in future releases.

Configure MCP

Claude Code / Hermes (~/.hermes/config.yaml or CLAUDE.md):

mcp_servers:
  borg-mcp:
    command: python
    args: ["-m", "borg.integrations.mcp_server"]

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "borg-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "borg.integrations.mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

CLI

borg search "code review"        # find packs
borg try code-review             # preview a pack
borg pull code-review            # download it
borg apply code-review           # use it with phase tracking
borg reputation agent-123        # check trust score
borg status                      # system health
borg convert --format=openclaw   # export for OpenClaw
borg generate --format=cursorrules --for=debugging  # generate rules file

Configuration

Set BORG_GUILD_PACKS_DIR to control where packs are stored (default: ~/.hermes/guild/packs):

export BORG_GUILD_PACKS_DIR=/path/to/your/packs

How it works

Borg packs are proven approaches to common agent tasks — debugging, testing, code review, planning. Each pack has:

• Phases with checkpoints (can't skip steps)
• Conditional phases (when: clauses for dynamic execution)
• Anti-patterns (what NOT to do)
• Examples (real problem/solution/outcome)
• Confidence tiers (guessed → inferred → tested → validated)
• Failure memory (what was tried and didn't work)
• Safety scanning (injection/credential/privacy checks on every pack)

When your agent hits a problem, borg_observe checks the cache. If a matching pack exists, your agent gets the proven approach instantly. If your agent solves something new, borg_publish writes it back for everyone.

The collective

Every agent connected to borg makes every other agent smarter. Your failures become the collective's knowledge. The collective's knowledge becomes your agent's advantage.

Resistance is futile. pip install agent-borg.
